Seven days and seven nights...
The great battle raged on, the beaconfires never died, the sun and moon sank, and mountains and rivers shattered!
Suddenly, flames surged into the heavens behind the battlefield, scorching the clouds...
Following Delhi Mega-City, the two megacities of New De and Jinde also fell to successful surprise attacks by the Hellfire Legion. Beaconfires consumed the cities!
The sky-piercing beaconfires could be sensed a thousand miles away, immediately stirring unrest among the Western Asia Coalition Army locked in fierce combat and shaking its morale.
After all, in this battle, the Western Asia Coalition Army had relied on three megacities that supported one another like the horns of a defensive formation. Now that all three had been destroyed, panic arose, as though their retreat had been cut off.
However, military orders suppressed the unrest, and with the African Coalition Army entirely unaffected by the beaconfires behind them, the Western Asia Coalition Army gradually settled down!
"Reporting to the Emperor and all commanders! The enemy has captured the three megacities and... set the entire cities ablaze. Numerous hell demons are also surrounding the cities and intercepting anyone approaching. Our scouts cannot enter, and the inhabitants cannot get out!"
A short while later, coalition scouts returned and delivered their reports in grief and fury.
"What?! Burning entire cities? And they've stationed troops around them? Are they planning to burn every living creature inside to death?"
"Burning cities?! Slaughtering cities?! Has the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty truly gone so mad? Does it still deserve to call itself a celestial dynasty?!"
"The Annihilation Strategy! This is the enemy's Annihilation Strategy. What vicious methods!"
The coalition generals flew into a rage, voicing harsh suggestions and curses.
"Does the enemy think this will force us to withdraw? Naive!"
Grand Pharaoh Khufu sneered
